Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: Still Available.

This appears to have a PTO lever, but I don’t see any implements on the front or back.

“1948 Jeep Willys CJ2A, Runs good, New Top, Good Tires, Stock”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5200.
Pics include both with and without tires, so it’s unclear to me the actual status of the jeep. I’m assuming if it drive, that the tires are attached.

“1948 Willys CJ2A runs & drives, needs some tinkering, carburetor is grumpy! $5200 no trade”
The body has had some bodywork, but is supposed to run. It has a Ford GPW block that was rebuilt in Germany.

“1948 Willys CJ2A, powered by a “Go Devil” L134 4 cylinder flathead engine. 3speed T90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case. Jeep runs and drives good, shifts through all the gears and 4wd works in high and low range. The brake shoes and wheel cylinders were recently replaced, including the brake shoes on the back of the transfer case. Complete new exhaust from the manifold back.
There is evidence the jeep has had body work during its lifetime, the body is very solid with no major rust. In my opinion the jeep has a killer look and I would run it as is. Tires all hold air, due to age and sidewall cracking I would replace them before running this any distance in the road.
According to the data tag on the side of the engine it was rebuilt at Karlsfeld Ordnance Depot outside Munich Germany in 1953. The engine runs extremely well and has the best oil pressure I have seen on a L134. The block I’m told is a late WWII block and has a Ford GPW head on it. Priced below market value at $9,500”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
This has a fiberglass body.
“1948 jeep fiberglass body fresh rebuilt motor. New Carburetor, radiator, starter, clutch, Alternator ( 12 volt converted ) brakes, brake lines, master cylinder. Etc.. needs to be finished needs seats done and new tires.. 6k”
Runs with newer engine, but bodybuilding needs work.

“1948 Willys CJ2A. Pros: Running and driving with a gm inline 6. Frame in good shape. Hood, Windshield, front fenders and frame all in good shape. Clean New Jersey title.
Cons: Needs new floor. You can buy a completely new tub easily and have a perfect jeep. No fuel tank, no floor, no seats.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/28/2022) It runs and drives.

“Runs and drives well. Does over 50mph. The previous owner had this a long time and did many modifications. It has a Dana 44 narrow track rear axle. I believe the front is upgraded also. Saginaw steering setup. The motor is an early 70s 2.0 Ford. The floor has been patched numerous times. Either way it’s a drivable 2a with paperwork and I’m firm on the price. Original vin tag on firewall, current RI registration in my name”
Bill shared this article about a Virginia chicken coop that housed a variety of vehicles, including a CJ-2A. Apparently, most of the vehicles (included the 2A?) are for sale.
